Cindy Sherman (*1954) is a master of masquerade. She is both performer and photographer, subject and object in a personal union. However, her self-portraits do not show any authentic personalities, but rather paraphrase social and cultural stereotypes, so as to be able to de-construct them by means of the different forms of presentation she uses – cinematic, classical painting and advertising.
Sherman has created an inimitable and ground-breaking body of work, which has expanded photographic imagery in an unexpected manner. The exhibition has been put together in close collaboration with the artist.
